Mark Few tied the great John Wooden with his 664th career win thanks to a dominant 77-60 win for Gonzaga over the in-state rivals. The win was Gonzaga’s 7th straight against Washington, and 14th in the last 15th. Washington’s last visit to The Kennel required last second heroics from Rui Hachimura for the Zags to secure the win. This time around, the game was over well before the final second ticked off the clock.
Julian Strawther finished the night with a strong double-double of 18 points and 12 rebounds after a sluggish start to the evening. Drew Timme was immense, particularly in the first half, on his way to 22 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals.
